So I'm looking for my next phone.
I was all set to buy the One S but no expansion and removable battery.
The One X is too big.
So where do I go.
I want the One S but 12GB isn't going to cut it.
Whats coming and I am considering non HTC as I;m not big on the current direction.
Current favourite is Sony Xperia S but not completly convinced on this one is there anything coming soon worth waiting for?
Nothing in the very near future which would represent a noticeable upgrade from the sensation. Personally I'm waiting a bit longer.

Just hang on longer to the Sensation if you can't find anything. Mayne the SGS3?
If not, just keep the Sensaion and wait for better phones in Q3. Sensation is still a powerful piece of hardware

Xperia isn't much of an upgrade!! It still has the sane old S3 chip, not the newer & much better S4 one!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Nope, nothing worth upgrading to just yet.
Nothing on the horizon yet...I'm still enjoying the S4G & Xda development section!
Im looking at the samsung galaxy s3 depending how quad core is handled with battery life, the one s was my next choice too until the no sd card and removable battery. One x is too big so im left with samsung s3.

What do you mean by the One X being too big? Physically, storage space, or price?

Physically I think
Storage is never big enough for ANYONE

I was thinking one S as well but like you said the low amount of storage has put me off it. I mean, the non-removable battery I could live with but only 16 gb's of storage....HTC, what are you thinking???
One X isn't a phone it doesn't fit in many pockets easily far a start.
Nice screen for movies and browsing but a little too impracticable for everyday life.
I go into the highlands in Scotland a lot what use is 25GB of dropbox if you can't access it.
A mobile device is for when your out and about we don't all live in London with permanent 3G and WiFi hotspots around every corner and that's when you want to access the content.
Have you tried streaming on a train or down the motorway in my experience you get crap connection speeds when moving at speed.

I absolutely agree with you. My concerns are the same. Everyone around me was impressed about this 25GB of storage with dropbox and I know for instance Three UK offer "all you can eat data" plan but they are the only one (as far as I know) and other carriers have their limit. And not to talk about still having gprs and edge connection in many area what I can't even use to fart on it... Anyway, brilliant phone is the One X but I still love my sensation and I'm sure I will sit on this phone till something similar will be released...
LG optimus 4X. Removable battery and an SD card. Hahahaha.

After seeing the specs of the EVO LTE and the European ONE X I was greatly displeased and turned off by the ONE S. EVERY nextgen flagship phone coming out seems to crush it spec wise.
given the fact that i have had multiple HTC phones I have no faith in their ability to make a battery that is sufficient for the phone it supports. So to embed a paltry battery like the one in the ONE S was an immediate deal killer. Then to find out about the memory too...it was not even a second thought.
As for blaming HTC, I have seen the light. The new EVO will be a beast. There is an on board 16 gig memory PLUS its expandable for an additional 32 gig. There is also a 2000 Ma battery if I am not mistaken. HTC "can" make a desireable phone, but T-mo has not required nor demanded a game-changer or a true flagship from them which is sad. Until t-mo stops slacking we will have to sit out cycles (like now) or switch to other brands.
I think I will be sticking with my Sensation until Q3 or Q4. So I won't regret any purchase because by that time all of the flasghip from every manufacturer has already been released. The sensation is still too powerful anyway.

Just the development alone from DEV's on the Nexus line is more than enough.... NEVER again will i buy another Android Phone that is not the Nexus line.
The sensation should be too powerful but mine is laggy as Hell since getting Android 4.
New Motorola coming out has 3000mA battery, if moto can do it HTC should be capable.

Hello all. I was thinking about selling my Sensation because the One X is screaming my name. But I'm having a hard time thinking of a fair price for it it's in mint condition, rooted (obviously) ICS 4.0.4, Sense 4, few screen protectors, case, and a anker extended battery. Any ideas on an asking price?
I would say 250
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G XE with Beats Audio using XDA
I forgot to mention the 16gb sd card with it as well. Only $250 huh :/ I was hoping to get more than half of the cost of the One X to pay some on it! lol I'll keep my sensation!
sell it in serbia for like 300 euros

its sad but its rly like that... i was looking like 20 days to hardly find one sensation for 280 euros with no extras...
I don't know but the One X is just not doing it for me. I have a Sensation 4G and and Amaze 4G. Not even a month ago I sold a Sensation 4G with some scratches on the screen for $250. Sold it with the box, charger and a 8 gig micro sd and a cheap silicone case.
For now I'll keep my Amaze 4G. I'm thinking about selling my Sensation I'll how much I can get for this one.
I'd say $320 is a fair price.

I used to have the sensation and now the sensation XL is out, is it worth the change ?
not worth change xl
No. The XL has last generation specs. Poorer screen, slower CPU, gpu.

XL is for guys with style
Kidding of course, everyone has another taste. But it takes a lot of ba**s to buy this phone with poor specs
If you like heavy gaming and multitasking wich are not problem for the XL right now you should change it.
4.7" screen. thats about it.

Depends on your needs
The sensation has a dual core processor and a lot of Dev support whereas the xl has a large screen with a less powerful single core processor......so if multimedia is what you want its xl and if you want a phone with good multitasking capacity sensation

Hi folks,
I know this is not the right forum to ask a question like this but I have been using my desire s for the past 1 Year and em feeling a lot intimate with it. recently my screen got cracked and so I plan on getting a new mobile, after a big walk around the forums I found HTC sensation and Galaxy s2 are the ones having a good feedback and also fits my budget. Now em in a duo of which one to select I like htc sense ui a lot but Samsung is well known for its source code release stuff (I'm a flashalcholic). Please suggest me a good mobile my budget is 400 to 450 usd (max 25000 INR)

If you are a flashaholic would you not be better off going for the Galaxy Nexus?
At this stage you would probably be better off getting a second hand Sensation or SII as long as it is in good condition, would be much cheaper.
s2 will be better then sensation, sensation battry really sucks!! AND my suggestion is XPERIA S!
Don't buy a sensation, buy a Sensation XE. Better battery, 1.5 GHz processor. The ROM's you flash will be the same though.
S2 is a wonderful and fast phone, but I personally don't like is design. It has 1.2 GHz....but I guess it's a little above your budget around 27k I presume..unless you get a nice deal.
Evo 3D and Xperia P are 25k in the market. Both are pretty awesome. Xperia P just looks so elegant though
Best of luck
Although I wanna know...how did you manage to break a gorilla glass display ?!?!

Nexus is very much big for my hand that's why haven't got it into picture.
Since I have been using Desire S for the whole time Build quality and ui of s2 worries me a lot but it's development forums are more than just healthy compared to sensation xe so tooo confused on which one to select

You are also in the same mind set as mine build quality and the ui is the only thing that makes me lean towards sensation xe but htc is having a bad time releasing source codes so em a little bit worried as if after some 2 good years I will loose my help from dev community
I like Xperia P a lot but dunno how for their dev community is????

Yeah, there is no better UI than Sense. And is just looks so good. If you get XE for 24k then is wonderful !
Although I'd like to point out that HTC of its really slow with updates. I got ICS mid easy through July. On top of that there was some problem in the update and I don't have a working Bluetooth and WiFi. You'll have to go to the service centre and install a 'solution' to get it fixed. This however hasn't happen to all XE's. Only to some unfortunate devices. (For more information on this check my thread about it on my profile...I don't want to troll too much here)
About Xperia P...Sony devices don't have rapid and consistent development as far as I know...my brother had Xperia Arc S and its kinda slow.
About the screen now I know what not to do I punch my wildfire even often :banghead:

Hey, I had the desire s for just over a year too and I've just got the one S. I recommend it. Takes a while to get used to the super amoled screen but when you get used to it, it's a fantastic device. It's got a great size screen. 4.3 inch is much better than 3.7 and I think 4.8 is a bit too big. It's also the same size screen as the galaxy s2 and it's a super amoled display so you're getting the greatness of the sgs2 screen on an HTC. It's got a fantastic processor as well the snapdragon s4 is incredible powerful. im getting quadrant scores of about 5000 which is higher than the quad core one x! So get the one s and then you're staying within the HTC community. I've picked up the sgs2 and I just don't like the build quality of their phones. It's like they have expensive hardware chucked in plastic! Doesn't make sense to me and touch wiz is horrible, no problem if like you say you are a "flashoholic" I'm not sure if it's in your budget but it can't be too far off considering it's dual core and the s3 model is cheaper I think
He is right, I guess if you can manage getting One S at even 28k buy it blindly...I didn't recommend this because it's above 30k in the market.
Something I learnt is never by a flagship phone if you are after the next flagship phone is announced or out. I got Desire HD in august '11 and sensation was announced in September. One X was announced as soon as I bought my XE. They just ditch the older one and concentrate upgrading the newer.

Still, is it the s3 or s4 version, because with the s3 you would got more or less just a overclocked sensation without sd and removable battery.

HTC One Max because I always wanted a galaxy note but hate Samsung build quality, I never keep a stock Rom, I flash on day one and therefore official updates don't bother me too much. Besides HTC are actually keeping the one up to date quickly now which is a great move!

And I was tempted to buy the Butterfly S, but decided my Sensation is too good to retire, so I'm with it now. the One Max seems tempting, but I think I'll wait for the next wave of phones (maybe even for ARMv8 cores, 64bit processing on smartphones is just around the corner).
Maybe a huawei
Why not ?
